ing instrument and hammer and. in using these it isiiecessary forlthe voperator to hold the drift in one handV and strike the same with thelia'mmer heldin ythe lother hand, then lay'dzown the hammer and drift and removeth'ejitool.v Often the toolv falls out of the holder and is lost kor fallsinto some inaccessible Y spot, requiring considerable time to recover the same. f

It is an fobject of the invention `to' apply a simple deviceto a socket by means yof which a tol may be removed withone hand from such socketwhile the other hand may' be `used to'gfgrip the tool being removed, all as will befihereinafter more fully described and claimed.

Referring to they drawings, which are made a part hereof and vin which similar reference characters indicate similar parts:

Figure section on the line 3-3 of Figa, c .a Figure 4;,jadetail of the sleeve or cylinder shown fin Fig. 2, and

drift.

`In the drawings, reference character 1() inl dicates the holder of `a Vturret lathe, drill press or other machine, such holder being provided with a longitudinally disposed ltapered tool receiving recess or socket 11 for the tapered shank ofV a tool. 12. The holder 10 has a transverse ,opening for slot 13 formed inl communication with vthe upper end of the tapered opening v11 and at one end of said transverse lopening the holder is provided with a cylindrical recess 14 into which is threaded a drift spring cylinder 15 heldin position `by a lock nut 16. The threaded end of the cylinder 15 is provided Figure. 15",,A anredge view of the specificV Y with slotsI 17 at each side of the same which is adapted to receive the slidablymounted y tapered head 18 of 'a drift or pin, said drift or Vpin having a substantially rectangular shankl) formed integrally with said tapered. head which' has its outer end extending through the end of the cylinder 15.

The shank 19 of the drift is provided with a ltransversely disposed pin 20 which is slightly shorteriii length than the internal diameter of the cylinder 15 and said shank is Yalso provided with allong-itudinally disposedY slot 21 in spaced relation-toV the pin 2O and through whichV extends a pin 22 carried A by the cylinderl 15. n A spring 23 is disposed between the pin 20 carried by the lshank of the drift andthepin 22 .carried by the cylinder, so that they Will-be normally held in spaced relation, as shown inV Fig. 2, with the head 18 retracted or out of engagement .With the endy of the'tool'12. The outer eX- Vtremity of the cylinder 15 is provided with a polygonal wrench engaging portion 211 by means of which the cylinder may be rotated for adjusting the yposition of the drift and a v its socket and allA that is necessary to pei'- forni this operation is the mere striking of the end` of the drift with a hammer.

My device may be applied to a tool holder at avery small cost and will result iii ,the

ysaving of considerable time aswell as the*v elimination of numerous unnecessary time consuming motions. v

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made in my. device, without departing from the spii'it of myl invention, and 1,'therefore, do not limit myself to what is shown in the drawings and described'in the specification, but only as set forth in the appended claims. Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent isi y Y Y tion of a tool, said tool holder having a transverse slot communicating with theY iocs` 1. A tool holder having a socket for iecepsocket, a drift mounted longitudinally `in said transverse slot across the endof saidu socket, spring means for holdingr said dritt in retracted position, and ineans adjilistable transversely oit said tool holder for support ingr said drift, substantially as set forth,` i l 3; A tool holder liaving a socket lor the `rcuzeption ot a tool, a tool removing ineinber mounted on said holder and adapted to be operated 'tor reuiioving' the tool 'troni its socket, autonuitieally ol'ieratingl means lor retracting said toolremovingl nieuibernnd for,maintaining `the saine in retrarted posiW i tion, and adjustable incline mounted ousaid tool holder for supporting;r said tool reinoving member, substantially as set torth. 4. `Atoel holder having n socltet 'tor the reception of a tool, a tool reinovinir inen'iber `mounted on said holder and adapted to be operated tor removingr the tool i troniits socket, and a housing for said tool removing `:ulapted to be operated for removin ineinher detachably mounted directly on said holder, substantially as set forth.
